Why 19th century America stayed with "New Mexico" instead of trying to de-Mexicanize or Americanize the name is an interesting question. Suggestions included Montezuma, Acoma, Jefferson, Lincoln, Salado and Sierra. Apparently, they couldn't just call it Jefferson or Lincoln or Madison or Polk or Carson or Fremont: the Spanish heritage was too strong.
imtay, I am guessing diesel. Its harvest time on farms around here, farmers are burning the most diesel they do all year and Trump's war of choice is hitting their bottom line quite hard.
Biden was blamed for the last huge spike, Trump is being blamed now. At least Biden had dementia to blame.
Let's just hope that GOP supporters finally begin to understand that they put a narcissistic simpleton into the White House twice and not the genius he claims to be. Democrats should at least briefly consider that the good fortune they may have in November will come compliments of Trump, not as a result of anything that they have done.
Let the perp have his fun, he'll be gone soon and everything he did will be undone.. Buy a hat, get a coin play a MAGA game, get on the pardon list, beg for a seat in the ballroom, throw a coin in the reflecting disaster and help with the wall.. What the heck :)
As a current resident of the former New Mexico state, I approve this change. Maybe now people will know we are actually one of the 50 states! Yes, every resident has a story of meeting someone who is astonished to learn we are Americans.
…it’s amusing since way back long ago, shortly after Trump rode down the escalator the left decided on a single supposedly insulting meme they believed was so devastating they prematurely concluded it was the end of his political aspirations. Now they and all their propagandists are a husk of their former selves while Trump continues to pummel with blow after blow. Thanks for that Rules for Radicals advice about humiliation lefties!

And if it doesn’t go your way, you can blame Trump for cutting back on the election fraud that your party has used so successfully over much of the last century. Yes, you who was trying to pretend away your party stealing the 2020 and 2022 elections in AZ.

And you support the election fraud that gave the corrupt, dementia addled Biden the Presidency for four years, with some 10 million or do fraudulent votes. Who helped create the mess in Ukraine, gave away many billions of dollars in arms to the Taliban, allowed ten million or more illegals to flock here unvalidated, unchecked, into this country, bringing back diseases eradicated in this country many decades ago. Many of them the worst of the worst - murderers, rapists, embezzlers, etc. meanwhile his supporters stole hundreds of billions dollars, indicted his predecessor multiple times for imaginary crimes, then pardoned all of those involved.
Those are some of the many things that we can blame on the President you put in with illegal votes. Likely the worst President of the last century. Maybe the most corrupt one too.
I used to wince when he did stuff like this. Now - after seeing the predictable reaction by all the sniveling shits on the left - I welcome it. I mean, it's not like he's calling us bitter clingers, or deplorables. Or telling his supporters to get in their opponents' faces. Or bringing a gun to a knife fight.
He's just fucking with you.
You do know you can just ignore it, right? But the fact you don't simply encourages more.
And we are still seeing only a dozen or so American deaths in the Iranian conflict. None actually in Iran. Biden killed almost as many the day he turned the Keys to Bergstrom over to the Taliban. Giving them tens of billions in our first line weapons. And had the medals awarded for the heroic defense at the airport downgraded, in order to cover his gross incompetence (restored last week by SecWar Hegseth).
Why not change it to Baja Colorado? That' way we're keeping our state's names in the family, so to speak, rather than making reference to potentially meddlesome neighbors. Those Azatlan 'reconquista' idiots won't be able to capitalize on the reference anymore.
Trump's trolling - whether you like or dislike it - has set a historical precedence. He's the first public figure ever to elevate 4chan trash-talking to an international art form.
For an attorney, that’s a remarkable amount of certainty unsupported by evidence.
Claims of millions of fraudulent votes, Biden “giving” the Taliban billions in weapons, and every migrant being a criminal aren’t facts simply because they’re stated confidently. They’re allegations, many repeatedly rejected by courts, election officials and the available evidence.
Lawyers are supposed to know the difference between evidence and assertion. Apparently, that rule has an exception for political online posts.
For an attorney, this is a curious relationship with the facts.
“Only a dozen or so” is misleading. The reported U.S. toll is 18 service members killed and more than 750 wounded. And counting only deaths that occurred inside Iran conveniently excludes American casualties elsewhere in the conflict.
Perhaps the legal profession has a different definition of “evidence.” Ours usually requires some.
"bagoh20, even many of those of us who voted for Trump wish he wouldn't act like the world's oldest child."
Sure, and I wish that sometimes too, but It's so much less important than everything else, and yet it's given the same outrage as a major policy mistake. Remember, people want him removed from office for walking carefully down a ramp or picking up a glass with two hands, or making a joke. Remember Reagan joking about starting a nuclear war with Russia on a hot mic? I like my Presidents with a sense of humor. I like most things with a sense of humor. We can handle it.
In recent years, roughly 800–1,000 U.S. active-duty service members DIE each year from non-combat (non-hostile) causes. In a typical year, on the order of half a million to well over a million service members are injured.
As a born and raised New Mexican, I prefer South Canada. After all, the democrat leaders have destroyed NM just as canada's leftest leaders have destroyed their country.

I am going on a trip to New America later this year. Should be a fun time!
We're saving that name for Mars.
Well, it's not really new, and it's not really Mexico, so, why not!

I'm partial to Nuevo Tejas myself.
What is he trying to distract from this time? The Lake Ontario bit came after the six month mark of his "little excursion."
Trump has complete lost the plot.

Will Mexico rename Baja California? To what?
How much more childish rhetoric do we have to live with?

"Will Mexico rename Baja California? To what?"
"Nuevo Mexico"...slot just opened. It even looks like a mini Mexico!
Aren't midterms always in silly season?
I note the lefties upset by the trolling… they mewl, they mince…
But they do not convince.

Trolling, trolling, trolling, keep those Dems a trolling ….
Trump could say "Pull my finger", and you suckers would.
Seems former astro-nut Kelly was one of the fist to pull DJT's finger.
"I note the lefties upset by the trolling… they mewl, they mince…"
They can't help themselves.
He's jumping the shark. Meh

Dinky resorts to his ongoing HGTV critique, thinking it convinces people that Democrats can lead this nation to a better future.
Get real, Dinky.
Nice of Trump to generate some interest in New Mexico. No one outside that state has thought about it since Breaking Bad.
…it’s amusing since way back long ago, shortly after Trump rode down the escalator the left decided on a single supposedly insulting meme they believed was so devastating they prematurely concluded it was the end of his political aspirations.

Nothing in history is more jump-the-sharky than TDS reactions to every word, gesture, blink or fart from the man. It's 100% of every single time.

Donald basically Rick-rolled the whole world.

The evidence suggests otherwise.

What shark, Howard? This is his final term and he's having a good time with it. You chuckleheads need to get a sense of humor.
IEE @ 4:32
Now do the Biden Afghan withdrawal.
You do know you can just ignore it, right? But the fact you don't simply encourages more.
Shut up, Jim. You're gonna ruin it for us.
